Autobiography of MN Naturalist Available
Be among the first to own this amazing life story of one of Minnesota’s best known naturalists, Walter J. Breckenridge
Breckenridge (1903-2003), known to his friends and colleagues as 'Breck', began his career as an exhibit preparator and museum curator before being named Bell Museum director in 1946 until his retirement in 1970. Known for his paintings of birds and wildlife settings, Breckenridge also is widely recognized for pioneering the craft of wildlife film making—many done in passionate response to human pressures facing animals and their ecosystems.
Breckenridge is a key figure in Minnesota's environmental heritage. His scientific work and environmental advocacy led to the establishment of parks, wetlands and wildlife areas including Nerstrand Woods State Park, the Springbrook Nature Center and the University of Minnesota's Cedar Creek Natural History Area.
It's the perfect gift for any naturalist!
